He added one reception for five yards.Analysis: This was a bad way to end what was otherwise a soild season for the second-year player, but maybe it's not a big surprise because the Vikings own possibly the league's best defense. Howard came up about 200 yards shy of what he rushed for as a rookie, but he still surpassed 1,100 despite managing just 90 yards on the ground in the final three weeks.

He added one reception for nine yards.Analysis: Howard's 36 rushing attempts are the most by a Bears player since James Allen in 2000, and his 167 rushing yards are the most by a Bear since Matt Forte in 2011. Even with Tarik Cohen taking away some touches, especially in the passing game, Howard remains a terrific fantasy option as the Bears focusing heavily on the ground game with rookie Mitchell Trubisky under center. Howard has had at least 18 carries in four straight games, averaging 4.5 yards per carry.

He added two receptions for 10 yards.Analysis: Howard continued to battle through his shoulder issue, and seemed to be shaken up from time to time again in this contest. Fantasy owners have to be wondering how long Howard can play through this injury.

He added five receptions for 26 yards and fumbled once.Analysis: Howard pushed through the pain in his right shoulder to give the Bears the lift they needed, scoring on a 19-yard run in overtime. Howard came up clutching his right shoulder - which has bothered him since the opener - several times and wasn't sure he would make it through this game.

He added three receptions for 14 yards.Analysis: Though still the Bears' clear-cut No. 1 back, Howard was outplayed by promising rookie Tarik Cohen in the opener. If Cohen indeed turns out to be the real deal, the 2016 first-year sensation will be hard-pressed to duplicate the 1,611 yards from scrimmage he produced in his debut.
